#MayDay #cdmx #news #roundup in #english
This has already made the rounds in spanish social media so i thought i would mention it in english, cuz the struggle is internacional and all that good stuff.
First there was the usual. I went to a #march for the #rights of #sex #workers. A lively group stroll numbering a few hundred heads plus a radical marching band, taking a non-typical route, zig-zagging through the #working #class #barrio of the Merced.
We in the @catl split from the march before it got the the main square, the Zocalo, and went to set up for the activity planned for the day, a commemoration of Mayday's #anarchist history. I shot ahead on bike and along the way i crossed paths with a #blackbloc, smashing and looting a starbucks and circleK, and giving away the looted items to the houseless folks in the zone.
Our participation was a little more chill. Like most of our events, we took public space to #share #food, #zines, #music, #poetry and #words of #struggle, in what we called a #public #street #forum.
After the event, around 4:30, most of us were on our way to a space called the clandestine for a discussion on #work and later, #party (one of the pillars of struggle, and an important one). But before we got there we were notified that one of the musicians that performed at our event, #activist, #rapper and #friend Anonimo Uno, had been arrested in the #metro (another activist, his partner, was also arrested but quickly released).
He had been caught putting up a sticker. For this he was attacked, pinned, and put in pain compliance positions by a plethora of uniformed state thugs, before being dragged off. His partner was arrested for bravely recording the attack, getting out the video that was key, not only as viral propaganda, but as legal evidence.
And what did they charge him with? Groping a police officer, while hand-cuffed and pinned down. This may be an emerging new tactic of the #mexican #state of weaponizing new sex assault laws against activists.
After we got over the inicial confusion plus a hour or so of not knowing where he had been taken, or as we say "in a disappeared state" a plan was made to mass up in front of the Fiscalía (DA?), a building unaffectionately known as "el bunker". It wasnt the first time we held space in front of that building, and it definitively wont be the last.
Fortunately the bunker is next to a relatively main transit artery, which we are sure to #block and form some minor #barricades every time we visit.
As the news got around, more and more folks showed up, numbering over a hundred.We made some noise, painted messages of #liberation on the walls, kept blocking the roads and after a few hours of #disruption, Anonimo was freed and in the company of his very relived mother and friends.
Both freed hommies told us of their ordeal over a megaphone, and the crowd hissed and cursed the police every time their violence was exposed. We shouted at full volume, "death to the state, long live #anarchy", and "a conscious police shots themselves in the head" (it rhymes in spanish).
Afterwards, the vast majority of the rabble walked together to the nearest metro. This was for security, but also the time honored tradition of "metro popular". For the uninitiated, this is basically taking over the turnstile area en mass, opening the side doors, and letting everyone (radical and passerby alike) to enter for #free. Of course this is accompanied by a lot of yelling: declarations of #freedom, uncomfortable truths, brutal take downs of the state.
For my part, i hung around the metro for a bit, saying my see you laters, soaking in the alboroto echoing off the metro walls, then biked home in a light drizzle.
For the people in Montréal who might be follwing me.
I will be tabling at the @constellation anarchist book fair on saturday, may 17th. I will have all 6 issues of Seeds of Spring for sale (this will be my first ever event where I will have book 6)
If you are in the area, feel free to come by and say hi. :)
Seeds of Spring is written by Chris Coquard and illustrated by me.
In this innovative serial graphic novel, Naguset, a modern Canadian Mi'kmaq teenager, exchanges books and mix tapes with her pen pal, Chris. Her imagination sparks when he sends her a biography of the 19th century Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin. The story juxtaposes Naguset's personal and political coming-of-age in her loving family home with Kropotkin's rocky upbringing in a princely palace. These two stories of eventful lives and bold hearts are interwoven with Kropotkin's theories of freedom, Mi'kmaq vocabulary and social history, and an uplifting punk soundtrack, creating a unique reading experience bound to inspire readers to think in new ways about the issues of our time.

Zine: Freeing Assata
Anonymous Submission To Jersey Counter-Info
Author anonymous.
Making this zine started for me as a vague desire to know how Assata Shakur escaped from prison. I had enjoyed reading her autobiography “Assata” and I was left wanting to know more. One chapter ends with her declaring that she was done with being locked up, and the next begins with her living in Cuba if I remember correctly. I mostly moved on, focusing on other things. More recently a friend mentioned that they had heard of a book about the Shakur family that went into the details of the liberation. The book in question was An Amerikan Family: The Shakurs And The Nation They Created by Santi Elijah Holley. I sought out the book and found a text that not only went into the details of Assata’s liberation but provided context about who all took part, the social movements and underground networks they were a part of and a whole set of histories that intrigued me.
I decided to only reprint the parts that explicitly deal with the liberation of Assata Shakur from prison and her transit to Havana, Cuba. The rest is worth reading in my opinion, as well as Assata’s own autobiography which gives context to Assata’s life path and freedom struggle, and Russel Maroon Shoatz’s I Am Maroon which also documents prison escapes, life on the run, and life underground from a Black liberation perspective. The idea that prisons are impenetrable, inescapable is demonstrably false and these histories are proof of that (as are the escapes that continue to take place today)! This bootleg reprint is only a snippet of a larger history of experimentation in collective and individual liberation that I feel Black anarchists and other revolutionaries could benefit from familiarizing ourselves with and learning from.
In the wake of the genocide taking place in Palestine at the hands of the zionist entity numerous calls have gone out for escalation and also — though less well circulated — for (re)building the underground in today’s movements for decolonization and liberation. Today’s undergrounds will look different from those of the 1970s and 1980s, yet there is still much we can learn from them. We are already seeing waves of political repression attempting to capture, pacify, eject, and domesticate rebels from the George Floyd revolts, the struggles to stop the construction of cop city in Atlanta, and the struggles in solidarity with Palestinians fighting for liberation. Unfortunately we are already seeing a new generation of political prisoners and exiles. Of course it is inevitable that some will be locked up as long as liberation struggles haven’t destroyed the cages. By learning from the struggles that came before us we can be better equipped to make the state’s work as hard as possible. Some of my goals for reprinting and circulating this account of Assata Shakur’s liberation from prison are to exercise our collective imagination of what is possible and contribute to dialogues about escalation, building undergrounds, and facing state repression.
Another goal of spreading this story is a fear that many stories of this kind, especially the illegal ones, will be lost. Either buried with the aging revolutionaries who made them happen, locked behind tight lips to ensure the safety and anonymity of the guilty, or neatly entombed in academic or historical literature that few will have the patience and position to read. To me these histories are not meant to be left in the dirt or hidden away in sleepy archives accessible with a student ID, they are part of our struggles today, weapons to be used to free ourselves, and by freeing ourselves free the dead who wrote these histories with their own sweat and blood. We can remember and tell these stories as part of our own race toward liberation and freedom now.
More selfishly, I am exciting to be adding a little something to a growing tendency of Black anarchist struggles. Anecdotally it seems there are more Black anarchists than before and that more approaches to Black liberation are imagining freedom through an anti-authoritarian lens. The former Black Panthers and Black Liberation Army soldiers who advocated anarchic visions of freedom and struggle, during and after the decline of the Black Panther Party have paved the way for Black radicals to understand anarchy as a vision of freedom we can hold as our own. Russel ‘Maroon’ Shoatz, Kuwasi Balagoon, Ashanti Alston, Lorenzo Komboa Ervin, and Martin Sostre are coming up more in the anarchist space, as well as the dialogues of Black revolutionaries. The last decade has seen a number of anarchically oriented Black liberation groups and projects that explore the synchronicity between Black freedom and anarchy. Salish Sea Black Autonomists, Afro-Futurist Abolitionists of the Americas, various zines, a handful of small gatherings, dialogues across geographies, increased interest in anarchists in Africa generally.
The text below is part of a longer book that goes into the history of the Shakur family. While I do not agree with the author’s position that the Shakurs aimed to improve amerika I have found the information useful nonetheless. I have added a few of my own notes to the text and added complete names in brackets to give context to readers who may not be familiar with the history of the Black Liberation Army, Assata Shakur, or other aspects of the struggles taking place at the time of Assata’s escape from prison. Again I encourage readers to dig deeper, to learn about the Black liberation struggles, guerrilla groups, and social movements that the people involved in Assata’s liberation were part of.
